    Todd:

    トーヅ (too dzu)

    トーデゥ (too du)

    トード (too do)

    Hignett:

    ヒグネット (higunetto)

    Todd Hignett:

    トード・ヒグネット

    トーデゥ・ヒグネット

    トード・ヒグネット

    Todd is very difficult to translate into Katakana so I came up with a few combinations for you to choose from. If you can't derive the pronunciation from my writing to check, just copy and paste in google translate and click listen to listen to it.

    The name "Todd" doesn't sound like "Toad", does it? If so, I wouldn't use ト

    If it sounds like "taught" (at least the "to" and "tau" parts) then you should use タ instead

    ターッド･ヒグネット

    taaddo higunetto
